I just read FR's LBN thread on the overturning of Prop 8. Those people are fucking clueless loons

[krispos42]

I'm serious. How can those people be allowed to buy power tools with cognitive skills so sorely lacking? How many of them are still looking for the "any" key on their keyboards? How many are in the shower for hours on end, washing, rinsing, and repeating endlessly until the shampoo bottle is empty?

Maybe the reason Freeperland's website looks like it's from 1996 is that the people that use it really can't handle anything more advanced. Too many options, too much power... just blows their minds, I guess.

Look at some of these comments...

Facinating how our Founders, courts, Congresses, Presidents missed this for well over 200 years, that Gay marriage is a Constitutional right.

Yeah, they also missed that "all adult citizens can vote" right, and the "people can't own other people" right. Imagine that, fucker.

To: tsmith130
Interestingly, the law is completely and utterly fair. It is just that some are motivated to break it more than others. All homosexuals have the same rights the rest of us have - to marry a member of the opposite sex who is not a direct family member and neither of them is currently married.

Or are those limitations unconstitutional as well? ;)

Idiots.

So, found the "any" key yet, fuckwad? Sure, the law is fair. All whites have the same rights the rest of us have - to marry a member of the black race who is not a direct family member and neither of them is currently married.

What's wrong, fuckwad? Don't want to marry a black person? Hey, you can still get married, so what's the problem? You just have to marry a black person. That is totally different from prohibiting marriage altogether.

To: Williams
If this stands then all states must permit gay marriage, as a Constitutional right?
Where in The Constitution is marriage mentioned?

voting doesn't count for anything........
I suspect Missouri's vote to exempt itself from the federal "Manditory Health Insurance Mandate" will also be ignored by activist courts.....

The peoples voting voice is silenced.

This makes me so mad. We voted....twice...and some idiot judge ignores what the people of CA say.

No one is surprised, right? The votes of the people mean NOTHING to the leftwing judges.

Again, fuckwad.... Minority rights are not subject to majority vote. As a perpetually procecuted white person who's about to be in the ethnic minority, I'm sure you don't want the Hispanics, blacks, and Asians telling you what rights you do and don't have, do you?

To: Williams
You don't seriously think the USSC would sustain this?
I suspect you will see the Gubernator NOT appealing this case to the 9th ~ and it'll just die.

What you will need to do is run another referendum, and keep on doing that until you have some trustworthy individuals in your state government's leadership positions, and several federal judges out there die ~ or retire (although it is preferable they simply pass on to the other side ~ where Satan awaits them ~ else they continue to serve as judges on a part time basis and can continue to create mischief).

You need to resolve this with the fuckwit a few posts up complaining about "'take it to court until we get what we want' tactic". Or are you just a fucking hypocrite?

What really underscores the "stigmas" is AIDS.
As long as homosexual males continue to spread AIDS and kill people they'll really have a difficult time eliciting any sympathy from serious minded people.

How many times can the government subvert the will of the people in a so-called democratic society before the people stand up and do something about it?

Judges and the current administration are destroying this country. November can’t come quickly enough, but I fear even that will be too little, too late.

Jesus Christ in blue jeans, were you in a fucking COMA during the Bush years? Judicial activism, corruption on an unprecedented level, government handouts, massive deficit spending, unpaid-for tax cuts, unpopular wars, electioneering, undermining the democratic process, privatization, fear-mongering, lying... and NOW you're pissed at a guy that won overwhelmingly and a congress with clear supermajorities in both houses?

Someone please tell me again why I should take the time to vote? A single judge can overturn the will of the people.

A single judge should over turn the will of the people when the will of the people is to take away fundamental constitutional rights from a minority. And in YOUR world, 5 judges can take away the will of the people simply for one man's ego, so maybe YOUR WORLD IS A TERRIBLE FUCKING PLACE THAT NOBODY ELSE SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO EVER!!!

To: tsmith130
This ruling a travesty handed down by an avowed and unrepentant queer judge. It is 100% certain that Walker’s ruling will be overturned. He had no right to push his sexual perversion on the whole state.



53 posted on Wednesday, August 04, 2010 5:16:15 PM by DesertRenegade

So it's okay if it's handed down by an avowed and repentant straight judge? In a ruling against gay people?

And when will Judge Walker be pounding on the door to fog you with Gay Spray?

I mean, you do realize that Prop 8 had ZERO effect on gay sex, right? Right? Or straight sex?

Right?

You do realize that the straights will still be fucking other straights, and the gays will still be fucking other gays. Right? Right?

Better put on a gas mask and grab your gun, man... Judge Walker is coming with the Gay Spray to convert you!!! And your good white christian children!!!

If the courts impose gay marriage and make it the law of the land, I’d fully and unflinchingly start supporting secession.

Yeah, the Repubes already bankrupted this one. $13 trillion, man, that's a big number, especially when like $10 trillion of it was done by Republicans.

[EFerrari]

1. The icing is that the judge is a Raygun appointee. Love it!

And, as a Californian, I want my tax money back that we paid into red state welfare. I may need it to buy a new dress to go to a wedding. lol

[krispos42]

2. All the former confederate states except Texas are welfare queens.

Funny how that's so conveniently forgotten, right?

[ruggerson]

7. I think he's a Bush 1 appointee

but you could very well be right. I just remember reading that somewhere.

[laughingliberal]

10. Actually, he was a Bush I appointee but it's still delicious!

Not sure anyone's ever told the freepers or teabaggers that all their red states receive more federal money than they pay. Maybe we could buy them a clue.

[krispos42]

12. We're $13 trillion in debt... we can't afford a clue the size that they need!

:rofl:

[EFerrari]

13. I was close!

lol

[laughingliberal]

17. We were both right. He was, originally Reagan's nominee, stalled, nominated by Bush I, ...

and confirmed.

Walker's original nomination to the bench by Ronald Reagan in 1987 stalled in the Senate Judiciary Committee because of controversy over his representation of the United States Olympic Committee in a lawsuit that prohibited the use of the title "Gay Olympics".<4> Two dozen House Democrats, led by Rep. Nancy Pelosi of San Francisco, opposed his nomination because of his alleged "insensitivity" to gays and the poor. Years later, the San Francisco Chronicle noted the irony of this opposition due to Walker's sexual orientation.<5>

He was renominated by Bush I in 1989 and confirmed by unanimous consent.

[MajorChode]

44. In other words, his original nomination stalled because he was TOO CONSERVATIVE

[lolly]

36. Both

Reagan gave him his 1st appointment; Bush I gave him 2 further appointments.

[merh]

19. Actually, Walker was first nominated by Reagan but his`

nomination was stalled by Pelosi and a few other dems because Walker was perceived as insensitive to gays and the poor. It was Poppy Bush's nomination that resulted in his appointment to the bench.

34. I want to read his finding even though it may have to go on the stack

for the weekend.

[merh]

35. Do you have the link to his little bitty 138 page decision?

If not, you can find it here http://www.scribd.com/doc/35374462/Prop-8-Ruling-FINAL

[EFerrari]

38. Thanks, merh. Everyone has spoken so well of it

I want to see what the hell they're talking about. :)

[merh]

41. He was thorough

It is a well written decision.

[donheld]

3. .

:cry:

[alfredo]

4. Yep that damn 14th Amendment again.

[krispos42]

5. And jus soli

Another thing they're getting frothy about. "Strict constitutionalists" my ass!

[alfredo]

6. I remember within a few months after the 94 Rep win, they

proposed over 140 constitutional amendments. Strict constitutionalists my ass.

[krispos42]

9. A hundred and forty?

:wow:

Flaming Pintos, that's a lot of amendments! What the hell were they for? Is there a list someplace?

[alfredo]

30. Most had to do with Roe vs Wade, banning gay rights,

flag burning, English only, and anti affirmative action.

[flvegan]

8. Look, we need to admit that a lot of dumb shit gets posted here. But...

there is no greater collection of stupidity and bigotry than there is at Free Republic. There just isn't. Seriously, even the few websites we "cannot name" have some bit of intelligence, hell I'd even say that while I don't agree with them, some posters on those websites are pretty damn quick to make a decent point. However, FR is simply the leach field for the internet right wing sewer.

Stupid and toxic.

[krispos42]

11. Heh, yeah, there's some stupid shit everywhere.

But they're nothing but stupid shit! Their positions inheirently prevent them from making a decent point almost 100% of the time.


Of course, I haven't had the honor of visiting stormfront or anything like that, either. Maybe it's worse over there...

:scared:

[flvegan]

14. Good point.

I was only talking the big political websites. I'm sure that Stormfront is a top contender for "Ultimate Shitwit Heavyweight Champs" line every time.

[krispos42]

15. Amen.

Man, some of the stuff I saw as a mod during the 2008 general was pretty damn scary... and from those people! :scared:


Well, off to bed, gotta be up at oh-shit o'clock tomorrow!

18. What a bunch of weirdos!

20. Have they even read the constitution?

[krispos42]

24. Their readings seem to begin and end with the 2nd Amendment.

And maybe the "We the people" part. :eyes:

[AsahinaKimi]

21. I was shocked to read

Some of the comments on SFgate.com. I know many of those comments do not come from local SF people. There are posters from all over the country there. They just like to come and SPIT on Californians from the comfort of their SAFE chairs parked in front of the computer, from a great distance.

[Fly by night]

22. Who cares what nonsense gets posted at Free Republic?

This is the first time I've seen so much time and attention spent here at DU on the musings (ravings) of the reich-wing masses at FR. I could care less what gets posted there.

If you hang around barn stalls long enough, your boots will be covered with shit. Same for the internets.

Really.

[krispos42]

25. "Know thy enemy"

If we don't know how their thought process is working, it's a lot harder to combat it.

Also, well, we can get caught up fighting over a relatively minor difference here.... it's important IMO to keep the differences between us and the differences between them in perspective.

[Fly by night]

26. IMO, it's important for DU not to give FR the time of day.

I also think that is part of our posting rules here.

I don't need a weather man to know which way the wind blows.

[krispos42]

27. Pretending the don't exist doesn't make them go away.

Besides, I needed to vent in a public forum. Venting privately is of limited benefit.

Besides, I've spend the last two years being a mod, which makes venting more problematic that it would be otherwise!


Freeeeeeeeedom! :woohoo:

[unhappycamper]

29. I'm familiar with that venting feeling myself.

:hi:

[Fly by night]

32. Ignoring FR and pretending they don't exist are two separate things.

Glad you vented. Hope you feel better.

As for me, I just don't care to share my DU oxygen with freepers, real or annotated. Once again, yours is the very first time (in six years) I have seen anyone devote so much space here to excerpting numerous FR postings and re-posting them here. If you've been a mod for two years, you should know that better than I.

Strange way to vent. (Don't think of an elephant.)

[krispos42]

40. I've done it a few times before, but not recently.

And I've seen it done on a smaller scale multiple times before, usually after some particularly public event happens that gives the RWers woodies or wedgies.

[malaise]

23. My only surprise here is

your surprise - we know they are fucking clueless. :hi:

[krispos42]

28. lol

Well, talking about Freepers on DU is like reading the Onion... our opinionsof them, projections of Freeper thoughts, and attributions of motive to Freepers are suppose to be a bit cartoonish and one-dimensional. NOT dead-fucking-on!

It's like reading this...

33. what's the html code for making those nice blue quote boxes?

[krispos42]

39. It's magic

But this might help.

You can change the color code by replacing AFEEEE with
something from this list:

Pale colors work best.
